Save water with the help of house calls and rebates

Did you know that your bathroom is the largest consumer of indoor water? Save water one flush at a time with a rebate for replacing your old toilet with a newer, more efficient model.

Save water outdoors by swapping out lawn-heavy landscaping for more water-wise alternatives with the Cash for Grass rebate.

Plus, be sure to take advantage of Water Wise House Calls for a free assessment of your current water use and recommendations for ways to save.

Tips to save energy during peak hours

Conservation is something we can all take part in to make a difference. When electricity demand is highest (between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.), there are simple steps you can take to save energy:

• Set air conditioning thermostat to 78 degrees, if health permits.
• Do not use major appliances (e.g. oven, dishwasher, clothes dryer).
• Turn off unnecessary lights in your home.
• Unplug unused electrical devices and power strips.
• Close blinds and drapes to keep the heat from the sun out.
• Use fans when possible.

Roseville Electric Utility has a number of resources available to ensure you are receiving the most up-to-date information and conservation tips. Find out more by visiting roseville.ca.us/planahead.
